Child
Boaz Barak
Child, about 1 years old. This is the second life this soul has lived in Neshiyah.
Boaz Barak is a small, sturdy child with a quick, hot temper that flares and cools like a struck match. When a tool or a beetle is set before them, they will study it with a fierce, silent focus, but their patience is a thin coat, easily shed. They are rarely alone, always trailing a parent or an older sibling, absorbing talk of the fields and the fog as if it were weather. Since birth, they have carried a phrase from a dream—*the fog is just fog*—and they repeat it flatly, without wonder, like a fact they do not yet understand. The town sees them as a bright, stubborn spark, one that will either burn through the mist or be smothered by it.
Temperament
Curious when something is in front of them; quick to believe what they are told; hot-tempered; always in company; able to sit still when it matters.
What people say
Boaz Barak believes what everyone believes: the fog is the edge of the world, and the fields need working whether it is true or not.
The dream
Since the morning they were born they have carried a sentence in a voice like their own: “the fog is just fog.”
